🇱🇧 Continuity and Admixture in the Last Five Millennia of Levantine History from Ancient Canaanite and Present-Day Lebanese Genome Sequences
"We show that present-day Lebanese derive most of their ancestry from a Canaanite-related population, which therefore implies substantial genetic continuity in the Levant since at least the Bronze Age."

Advances in genetic mapping continue, and someday it will be easy, cheap and detailed -- and will be able to be performed without the subject's knowledge. What privacy protections do people have for their genetic map, given that they leave copies of their genome in every dead skin cell that they leave behind?

A single base pair insertion in the Sox9 enhancer, Enh13, mediates XX female-to-male sex reversal. This subtle non-coding mutation reconfigures transcriptional regulation, enhances Sox9 expression, revealing Enh13 as a binary switch governing sexual fate.
